IVF abroad

[Viletta]

Hi all,

There was a lovely thread for all ladies trying IVF abroad. Anyone has any plans yet?
We are planning to go to Reprofit in Czech in April. Actually going there this March for some tests. DH was prescribed DNA fragmentation test by Mr Ramsey, can you imagine flights to Czech, hotel for 3 nights, parking in London for 4 days and DNA fragmentation test turns out cheaper than doing this test here in the UK on its own. I think it's good for us to see the clinic before we start too. Anyone is planning their cycle abroad? How do you find it?

Hi all I’m considering Reprofit after a failed NHS round. I’m 41 only three eggs collected and one fertilized didn’t make it past day 1 :( AMH 3.12. Do you know if Reprofit do embryo banking over three cycles to give you better chances? Anyone have any thoughts on this? I know Create do this...

Hi there, yes, presently working through the European options for mild IVF (icsi). I'm 38, have 6 follicles, and an amh of 1.1. We have a son conceived by IUI 3 years ago. We've had a lot of consultations now and so clear about the journey ahead, but not so much about what it looks like abroad and with a working from home husband and toddler. 15-20 days abroad?! Expecting x3 visits for egg collections pre fet at the end of it! Don't know anything about what to consider re the covid uptick / insurance options etc. Do you have any advice here? When/where are you thinking of doing it?

Hiya,
Anyone planning on IVF abroad post Covid?

Hi @maggieT78
I’m also deciding whether to move clinic after failed attempts. We would like to use DE next cycle so starting the process of finding a clinic. Don’t yet have any recommendations but watching the thread with interest.

Hi!
Having three failed attempts on IVF , I 'm still searching for a clinic to visit for better results.
I have some in mind mainly abroad!

@twinkledag planning to start getting ready for FET hopefully this week, af were late both times after last failed IVF. How are you doing? How did the test go for your embryo?

[twinkledag]

How is everyone today?

[twinkledag]

Sorry to read about your BFN @Viletta ☹️

[Cutesbabasmummy]

Ah sorry Viletta! But really good you are both being positive. It really helps. Good luck for your next cycle. It was the frostie that worked for us x

[Viletta]

Hi all, didn't work this time around for me. Planning to go back in June for our frostie. Brno again yeeei...

Interestingly being really positive about the whole cycle didn't crush us when we saw bfn but brought is closer together. Having 2 frosties makes a difference, but even if not, I could go for another full cycle again. I feel like I need to power through it and stay strong and persistent.

Hope you all doing well whichever part of this 'amazing' adventure you are at right now.

How is everyone today? x

Viletta I did have the blood test as it came in with our treatment (split between UK and Spain) but the day before I took a clear blue digital and it came up pregnant 2 - 3 weeks immediately. So if you have nerves if steel.you could just go for the clear blue!

[twinkledag]

I don't know if we will @Viletta. This is round number 4 and we've said this would be our last time. I'm just so praying this is the sibling for our little boy. After our miscarriage last year I just want this to be it.

[Viletta]

@twinkledag don't feel down, you've got one beautiful embryo and hopefully this will be the one! If not, you'll try again.

[Viletta]

Found out beta HCG pregnancy test in the UK is about £85. What a rip off! In Czech it would have been £15 tops

[twinkledag]

It's been 24 degrees here!

[Viletta]

@mumsey2be Eatercweekend was very sunny and unusually hot. I'm sure Italy will catch up on sun soon x

[mumsey2be]

@twinkleday @viletta it's distinctly cloudy here in Italy - am i missing some gorgeous UK weather?

[twinkledag]

Congrats on being PUPO @mumsey2be!

Hope you're all enjoying the sunshine.

I've been moping around the past couple of days since I heard we only had one embryo, need to snap out of it!

[Viletta]

@mumsey2be Glad to hear you feel better! I'm good too. Just waiting game now and trying to get distracted as much as possible:) Hope you enjoy lovely weather and keep being positive!

[mumsey2be]

@viletta, thank you! And thanks for the advice on the hubby - he has azoospermia which means he doesn't produce sperm at all. the upsides of low testosterone mean he looks a lot younger than he is and still has all his hair!!!

How are you all?

I am pretty good -i feel like a new person now the embryo is in - as in i feel i am like any other normal woman rather than someone in a medicalised situation because she has crap eggs etc.

No real symptoms to spot as yet -i pee a lot and feel a bit sore boobed but i think that is just the progesterone.

Hugs for the test tests week xx

[Viletta]

@mumsey2be congratulations on being PUPO! Good idea to have time off work and relax during 2ww, I'm back home in the UK now and not looking forward to going to work after Easter holidays. Otherwise feeling not bad. Keep calm and positive! Xx

[mumsey2be]

Hi ladies just to say we had a 5 day AA put back in today. I am feeling ok - just relieved to finally have one on board. About to get on our flight to Pisa to spend a week at our home there. No trampolining allowed...apparently!! Love to you.

[Viletta]

@twinkledag I guess.. I am not familiar with what the tests might show. When I had only 1 embryo last time they put it in on day 3 rather than waiting for day 5, as there was nothing to choose from anyway.

[twinkledag]

It's worth testing it to save a failed transfer don't you think?
